NBC Learn, the educational arm of NBC News, has teamed up with the National Science Foundation (NSF) to produce Science of the Olympic Winter Games, a 16-part video series that explores the science behind individual Olympic events, including Downhill and Aerial Skiing, Speed Skating and Figure Skating, Curling and Hockey, and Ski Jumping, Bobsle

This site is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy. It is the Division of Educational Programs (DEP), Argonne National Laboratory's link with the educational community. On this site you will find information about the various programs offered at DEP. Whether you are a graduate student, undergraduate, K-12 student, or faculty member, DEP has a program that will engage you in a scientific learning experience. Of particular interest is the Ask a Scientist Archieves found through the NEWTON link.

Operation Physics is a curriculum of 13 physics units that was developed in 1988 for the purpose of educating teachers of grades 4-8 who are teaching physical science. Information provided in this web site were developed to teach teachers in northern Ohio since 1990. While many of the activities are relevant to teachers who participated in the workshops, some might be useful to other teachers.

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is a proposed ground-based 8.4-meter, 10 square-degree-field telescope that will provide digital imaging of faint astronomical objects across the entire sky, night after night. In a relentless campaign of 15 second exposures, LSST will cover the available sky every three nights, opening a movie-like window on objects that change or move on rapid timescales: exploding supernovae, potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroids, and distant Kuiper Belt Objects. The superb images from the LSST will also be used to trace billions of remote galaxies and measure the distortions in their shapes produced by lumps of Dark Matter, providing multiple tests of the mysterious Dark Energy.
